More pictures. By the way the wheels are for sale. The exhaust will be for sale soon. I am going RB Dual Road Race. This is way to loud for me. I have heard louder but RB for me.

I don't care for the contrast with the red paint. I like the wheels just not on this car. If they were bright silver maybe. I want to go with Gram Light 57F. I am a sucker for some classic 5spoke. The Grams are a lot lighter also.

Not sure yet on the price for the exhaust. I am not giving it away though. I am going to do a TII rear and transmission with a light flywheel and strong clutch. I want to wait until I drop the trans and rear to do the exhaust. I am going to stay with this engine and see what Steve Kan and a haltech can do. It is 223 to the rear wheels now. Also porting throttle body and adding HKS twin power.

The sc is good. It only has 9-10 pounds of boost and is not capable of making more in anyway. It is the limits of the sc. It comes on hard about 4k and pulls really strong until redline. I love the supercharger whine. My girlfriend yesterday kept asking what is that airplane sound? I was thinking of going TII motor but I am cool with this for now. It does keep some of the originality of the GTUs. We will see though.

Oh, forgot about the exhaust question. It is a HPC coated Mindtrain header with an Apexi GT stainless. It has a hi flow cat also.

Hooly ****. You are one lucky ****, thats what an FC should look like. Who built the car? The quality and attention to detail is ridiculous! I don't think I'd mind paying close to 13 for a car like that either depending on how much restoration work has actually been done. Enjoy it, looks like it'd be a blast to drive. Almost too pretty to drive hard

I bought it from a guy in Mesa Arizona. It has been garage kept, almost never saw rain. The last time was 7 years ago. There is not a scratch on it. I tried to buy it six year ago and couldn't then tried four years ago and couldn't come up with the money. Then I called him 5 months ago and he said he was finally ready to really sell it. He came down 2k and gave me 5 months to pay. He really has done this car right. I will probably put more miles than him on it but it is not my daily driver.

Oh by the way there was no restoration work. This car has just been meticulously kept.

Keep it 6-port and SC'ed!!! That's a sweet ride and a pretty unique set-up.

The only thing I would change would be that headlight cover (never liked those) and start pre-mixing

Definitely going pre mix but I like the naca duct. It feeds the mariah cold air box quite well.
